Village Outreach: Paranga,Maracha:

Local deaf /deaf advocates, YWAM Arua and St Phillips members, and Eruba Deaf Unit Staff and students joined us on this eventful but memorable weekend sign workshops based on the theme “With my own eyes I have seen your salvation (lifesaver)” Luke 2:30


This was to fulfil a promise we made to Pastor Rev. Gard to organise a future sign workshop after our first visit in 2007, when his village deaf opened our eyes to the scale of need.

Over 25 local non-signing deaf participated along with a further 75 hearing buddies and fellow villagers. Both we and Paranga Parish performed powerful dramas that all could en-joy. The village was so appreciative at the end of the weekend.


One family are now applying to send their deaf child to Eruba deaf Unit now they are aware of it and can see the life-change that partnership can bring.
